I would build something easy to reload for like a 20 Practical or 17-223. I have them both and your eye doesnt even come out of the scope when shooting. So you see all your hits. They have Blackhole barrels and really shoot good.
Something to think about
What makes something "difficult" to reload for? Hint..............

Looking at .30 Remington AR. What's wrong with it? If I saw one and the price was right, I'd buy it. It's a good cartridge with about 10gr more H2O capacity than a 7.62x39. But building one seems to be fraught with complications. I'd never build one because 6.8 and even 7.62x40 is soooo much easier. Have fun reading this - https://www.msrhunt.com/?forum=349773

Hardly a "gun". Sorry to hear of your Palsy. Hint. Congratulations?!?

My "palsy" has so limited me, that I've been limited to this: Maybe I should use training wheels like you. Hint. Congratulations?!?

She's troubled with what a "gun" is...likely due her Palsy. Poor gal. Hint.

Looking at .30 Remington AR. What's wrong with it? Don't be in a hurry,to make a bad decision. What is the application? Start with Reality and work from there. Hint................ Definitely do not want to make a regrettable mistake and I appreciate any responses giving me something to consider. I do have a couple of 6.5 Grendel barrels on hand, but I'm just not looking to own two more Grendels. As mentioned earlier, my pair of hunting ARs are a 5.56 and 6.5G and I'm thinking I may make up another like pair and use my night vision & thermal on the two 5.56s and conventional optics on the pair of Grendels for daylight use. I don't need two of each but it would be nice to be able to outfit a companion on a hog hunt. Hogs would be the application in any case. The more I look around the more I am seeing stuff I've never heard of, some of it pretty impressive. The .30 AR looks pretty good on paper, but brass may get pretty rare. It's available, but I have no idea how long that will be the case. I don't mind doing a little bit of work to convert brass but I want to avoid things that could become really time consuming. I ran across the 6.5 Timberwolf, and that one looks like a Grendel killer from where I sit. Another one from the same outfit is the .30 Sabercat, and it looks pretty impressive on paper also---considering the limitations of the AR15 platform. I've found some commentary on the Timberwolf and need to read through it. I do not want to discover pitfalls that others have discovered already. Bottom line is, I'm going to assemble a couple more ARs and I'd like to do something different...maybe something that gets more out of the platform than the 7.62x39, 5.56, 6.5G, and the 6.8 SPC. Of those, I think the 6.5 Grendel offers the most potential performance but I like to try out new stuff now and then. There's an awful lot out there these days if you get to lookin around. Stick, weren't you fiddling with a 6mm Grendel a while back?

I'm having fun with an AR-15 .450bushmaster. Recoil is nothing to worry about, about the same as a 20ga. Shotgun.
An unemployed Jester, is nobody's Fool.
the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

I guess I really shouldn't count that one and the .458 SOCOM, but I have to confess I'm somewhat a velocity whore. I'd imagine the trajectories with the applicable bullets would limit killing range quite a bit. What you could hit would go down, though, no doubt!

I'd imagine the trajectories with the applicable bullets would limit killing range quite a bit. What you could hit would go down, though, no doubt! It leaves a hole big enough for my finger. and yes, I took my first whitetail with it this past hunting trip. It is designed as a 300yd accurate ammo. It is legal for any place (like here) that requires a straight wall cartridge and .357-.50 cal. It is designed as a short range rifle. It will kill anything in North America. (two legged or four legged) https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/13288005/fence-post-pic#Post13288005Edit: it uses the same magazines as the .223, just a different follower. Single stack.

If you like velocity 223 wssm is faster than anything else I know of but DTech would be the only choice on that one.
